LoL didn't have kernel-level anticheat for the majority of it's lifetime; when it was added to the game, Apple had removed kexts from the OS entirely. And Valorant doesn't support macOS in the first place, presumably because it didn't run Riot's Ring 0 anticheat at-launch.

What point are you trying to make here?

1. That the raw percentage does not important.

2. That Linux distros do not care about investing in security, (nor to game studios themselves) to be able to get major titles like LoL.

I agree with the first point but not the second, if anything anticheats break security.

Security isn't the issue. There is effective Ring 1 anticheat on Linux just like there is on Windows and macOS.

Not ring 0, though.
